<p>I am a HS sophomore who gets A's in HN/AP history, science, and English courses, while I struggle to get B+'s in HN math. I'm all for challenge, but I don't know if it's really worth it. I'm confident I could get an A in regular pre-Calc next year, but how would SFS look upon a non-advanced math class? I'm taking Calc AB senior year regardless of whether I take HN or regular pre-Calc junior year. </p>
<p>I’m in the SFS and my math track was Geometry, Trig, Pre Calc, and AB. I’d say it’s fine.</p>
<p>@CSIHSIS were they HN or regular courses?</p>
<p>Trig and Pre Calc were called “honors” but there weren’t non honors versions of them, so it was just a way for my school to make itself sound better.</p>
<p>Any other input?</p>
<p>I did Algebra 1 (8th grade - counted for HS credit), Geometry, Algebra 2 with Trig, and Pre-calc. I’m not taking a math class this year, but kinda-sorta “made up for it” with AP Micro- and Macroeconomics, as well as honors physics. We don’t have honors math classes at my school. You should be fine, especially for SFS where you really don’t <em>need</em> to do anything special with STEM to get in!</p>
<p>Yeah, don’t take the honors pre-calc. Keep your grades up.</p>
<p>I was in your position as well. After 9th grade I got a B and a C in precalc but I made sure to get an 800 on the subject test. I then took Calculus the next year and got two Cs but a 4 on the AP test. My school had a notoriously hard precalc teacher that was brilliant, so I took it for the learning experience as much as anything. I just hope colleges see that I put unnecessarily hard challenges on myself for something I’m not good at. </p>
